Just Like Dad Used to Make

 

My Dad likes to do excruciatingly detailed woodworking, particularly for Christmas.  He would (and probably often still does) spend hours in his basement workshop with his carving tools and implements of woodworking magic to make little stocking-stuffer toys in the Father Christmas tradition (like, the same Father Christmas who would bring oranges instead of Quality Street).

I am not a woodworking genius, and I don’t have a basement workshop and I don’t have magical implements.  So I tried to replicate the “just-for-fun” toys another way.

The hardest part of this was finding CD cases where the CD bed popped out and all you were left with was a hollow rectangle.  The rest was surprisingly simple.  Here’s the result:
